Ten Things to Teach Your Sons

2. Be obedient and respectful to the authorities in your
life, specifically: God, parents, civil authorities and laws, teachers and
school rules, and all adults.

3. Act like a man. Someday, you’ll be one.

4. Use good manners and the correct etiquette for where you
live. Be polite, and try not to offend others.

5. Learn a marketable trade so that you can support a family
when you are an adult.

6. Treat all women with respect and gentlemanliness. Treat
your mother, grandmothers, sisters, cousins, and all other girls like ladies.
Act with courtesy and finesse. Know what to say and how to act around women.

7. Develop a good, clean sense of humor, and don’t be afraid
to laugh at yourself sometimes.

8. Prepare yourself for leadership in your family and in the
church by participating in decisions and service now. Learn responsibility in
your home and in your church. Be faithful in the little things.

9. Learn all you can from your elders, especially your
parents, teachers, and pastor.

10. Read the Bible and good books. Study persons of faith
and character.
